Created attachment 180995 [details] [review] Bug 39646: Send overdue notice to guarantor when guarantee has no email Test plan: 1. Have a patron with no email address and an overdue item. 2. Add a guarantor to this patron. The guarantor must have an email address. 3. Run the script overdue_notices.pl. 4. On the staff interface, go to the guarantee patron > Notices. 5. Notice that only a print notice has been created. 6. Apply the patch. 7. Repeat steps 3 and 4. 8. Notice that an email message has been created. 9. Run the script process_message_queue.pl. 10. Verify that the email has been sent to the guarantor's address. I had a go at testing, but it did not work for me. After the patch, there is no email overdue notice for the Guarantor (Mary) with the Guarentee's (Lisa's) overdue item. It just generated a print notice for the Guarantee (Lisa). This may be because I've never generated overdue notices before, and I'm not sure that I have set everything up correctly. Testing notes (using KTD): 1. Add a valid email address you have access to, to the KohaAdminEmailAddress system preference. 2. Update the details for a Guarantee patron: - Lisa Charles - Add Mary Burton as Guarantor - Patron messaging preferences: . Advance notice: 1 and Email selected 3. Update the details for a Guarantor patron: - Mary Burton - Primary email: set a valid email address you have access to - Patron messaging preferences: . Advance notice: 1 and Email selected 4. Set up sending emails using a Google account: 4.1 Set up an App password for your Google Account 4.2 Configure a new 'SMTP Server' under 'Administration > SMTP servers' using the following settings where `User name` = your Google email address and `Password` = your APP password, not your Google account password): - Host: smtp.gmail.com - Port: 587 - Timeout: 5 - SSL: STARTTLS - User name: GOOGLEACCOUNTUSER - Password: GOOGLEAPPPASSWORD - Set this server as default 4.3 Test that this is working by: - Sending a welcome message to Mary Burton - Process the message queue: misc/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl 5. Set up overdue notice/status triggers: 5.1 Tools > Patrons and circulation > Overdue notice/status triggers 5.2 For default library and the Kid and Patron patron categories: - Delay: 1 - Letter: Overdue notice (ODUE) - Email: selected 6. Check out an item to Lisa Charles and make it overdue: 6.1 I used: Programming perl, 39999000011418 6.2 Search bar: select check out, then enter lisa and select 6.3 Enter the barcode: 39999000011418 6.4 Click the settings icon in the barcode field 6.5 Set specifify due date to the previous month 6.6 Click check out 6.7 Confirm checkout: Yes, check out (Y) 7. Check that an overdue notice will be triggered: misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl --list-all -v 8. Run for real: misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl -v |
